These is how they creat unnecessary demand & supply problems as speculations like these are always dead on arrivals

Market cabals are now aware and prepared to hijack the in flow should lagos govt live up to the promise, cabals smartly mop up, re package and sell at profitable price ...

News flash kills good initiative for the masses in Nigeria, we need govt that have sense, talk less, do the needful and let the impact be the news

- It is an old building.
- It is at express.
- You have once expressed your unwillingness to pump ordinary water for your tenants.
- 300k is just fine for that arrangement.

I was hoping you could get me a new house in the locations I mentioned for 50k.

If you want more for your building, renovate it and give your tenants water. I don't know why Aba landlords see water as luxury.

The main reason for corruption in Nigeria is simple

1. Most government revenue comes from oil. NOT FROM TAXES...which is important.

Most saner climes collect far more in tax than does Nigeria. That means the average citizen is far more invested in watching how the government spends money.

Nigeria unfortunately has most government revenue comming from oil, and it isn't enough, and since it isn't coming from the people direct, looting is basically incentivised.


2. Most of you are ready to turn a blind eye to corruptuion when your side is in power. That is why anyone calling out TInubu for corruption is identified as IPOB...or Igbo. When GEJ was in power, ....

We got a long way to go.....and whatever we shout...the fact remains...a buget of 30 trillion naira before looting is not enough for a nation our size. Even if we cut looting

Thus the important mantra...manufactured goods and services, and widended tax base.

i am try to understand what makes oil money more suitable for corruption than tax money, besides all income end up in the federation account before they are expended ... the only money naija politicians won't steal is church & mosque money.


Those countries you consider taxing there citizens more, check there minimum wage, standard of living and subsidy options... is it not above Nigeria,

We lack a system that foster accountability and transparency, Oga how do you hold your leaders accountable when they dictate the system


I reteriate No Revenue will be enough with our leaders reckless spending and looting scale ... I insist generating more money wont make any differences except on paper

As a salary earner if you are not prudent with spending, if you live xtravagantly no salary will be enough, even if you get salary increase frm 500k to 1m you will still be broke b4 17th of the month.


Tax is the consequence of economic prosperity, where is the prosperity ?? with the way politicians loot our money freely why should any sane Nigeria be optimistic about tax reform ??

Subsidy was demonize by Nigeria dumb elites, now what as Tinubu govt achieved with that relieved fund, governors are collecting more money to what impact, what as fvcking change

nairalanda1:
1. First,crude has never been as high as 150. It was high as 145, and that was for a brief period in 2008. At best between 2010-13 it was between 100-130 dollars per barrel

2. Even if we saved for a rainy day, the sustained low oil price from 2014-2021 and from 2022 onwards would have put us in a bad state...to the point that all savings would have been eaten

3. The problem is the refusal of administrations, including this one, to develop alternative means of earning money for the country, because in the short term, it means raising tax from the 70% of Nigerians who do not pay tax to federal and state governments. Instead, most administrations borrow.

4. Even at 150 dollars per barrel, Nigeria won't earn enough money. We need something like a budget that passes 200 trillion naira annually. Then we can talk

The problem is, this government has no plan in place for diversification of the economy, especially to one that exports manufactured goods and services. Instead, we borrow to get extra cash. And it was borrowing from previous admins that forced the removal of subsides in 2023 on fuel.

Even without the diversifying,what we have if we are producing optimally that should get us close to our budget

When was the last time, Nnpc met opec quota and maximized output ... there is demand on ground, maximizing our production is one sure way to boost revenue

One major problem we are not focusing on is fund mismanagement & corruption, no income will be enough with the level of misappropriations and xtravagnt spending of our politicians,
1million salary a month might be a stipend depending on lifestyle, someone earning 500k can have a better life than someone earning 1m in the same office

In present Nigeria, even if we generate revenue as high as the sky .... corruption will mitigate any improvement

F117nighthawk:
So is this too much a sacrifice for same people who many had contributed their tithes and offerings over the years u used to build and develop the church?

thats accountability ... this is not 1st time the church has provided free buses and nowhere did he say the church will discontinue

I dont how some of you speak good english but una reasoning stinks

Afodot0022:
Hmmm, this notion is true though but I still think there are some divorcees that remarried and eventually made it work due to their experience to be a better person to their partner, just that they will easily opt out of marriage if any minor issue occurs being they have experienced the essence of being single and independent so putting effort for the marriage to work won't move them. My take though. Am divorced now and to be honest, getting married again is not my priority cos am not just ready for the stress and draining involved in marital life.

You speak as though life out marriage no get stress, hustling and blusting is that one stress free or is it not draining

Passing through the university to make good result ... was it not stressful, is time you wake at midnite to study or times you rush to campus to write test at 6am

Out of everything that gives human stress ... marriage is where we concern exit as solution

Timinho23:
We know them... Right from the inauguration, theyve lost every form of rational thinking, loving the President's enemies, even hailing terrorists and dictators to spite. They are the losers because their evil heart keeps getting darkened while every other person progresses.

Oga shutup jare, right from inauguration even those that voted for Tinubu 50% have started regretting
There is no single policy from these useless govt that is not counter productive on a realistic approach, who could have thought local refinery would make fuel price even more expensive than importation

Who could have thought the Apc govt that ban rice & others to promote local production today are insisting importation of fuel will curb dangote monopoly.

Almost 2yrs after withdrawing subsidy from pms, health, education what as Tinubu govt achieved with the savings, under 2yrs Tinubu as gained a private jet, yatch, Suv beast, but what did Nigerians get does it look like tinubu can take naira value to what he met

No nation as ever tax itself to prosperity.

Self deception is the work kind of deception, mental poverty the worst kind of poverty and mouth diarrhoea the worst kind of diarrhoea.

The problem wike & friends have with PdP/atiku is breached of zoning, even APC almost had n issue but they were able to retrace there step, north made Tinubu win the primary go n verify the votes
North are not hap3py with Tinubu, But even in there rage they know it still as to be a southerner to substitute Tinubu cos south still has 4yrs by arrangement ... it does not have to be written, follow the pattern from 1999 and please embrace common sense.


You decided to ignore my questions and are taking me on another wild ride by shifting goal posts.

Let me follow you small with your container load of common sense.

Could you answer my questions in my previous comment?

Following your weird logic of the pattern from 1999, was there ever a Muslim Muslim ticket?
Where you not alive when Tpain declared that he refused to be VP to Buhari in 2015 cuz of Muslim Muslim ticket and instead appointed Yemi ?
Was there ever an agreement that the President or VP must be a Christian and the other a Muslim? Was there?
There was never any agreement, get it into your head 2day and know peace.
Why do you think someone had to rent plumbers and mechanics as fake Bishops and Archbishops in this country?
When was the 1st time u heard the word Muslim Muslim ticket?
Which part of your so called audio "agreement" will ever give Presidency to NorthEast, NorthCentral and SouthEast?
Nobody from these 3 zones will ever be President of this country.
SouthSouth just ate their one and last piece of the pie, the reason GEJ refused to step down for anyone based on nothing.
If GEJ was a Northerner no one would have said shit, stop swimming in cowdung.

If you were wise, you would know that the only proof of any "agreement" is when during primaries, all or the main political parties will only accept candidates from the zoned area as per your affirmed "agreement".
Do you think a SouthSouth/SouthEast man will ever be the Presidential candidate of NNPP?
Why do you think there is no law on the zoning agreement in the National Assembly?

Coming to the masses, if there was an "agreement" as you claim, was it stones who voted for Atiku and Kwankwaso?
Were those millions of people from all tribes in Nigeria ignorant about the secret "agreement" when they voted?
Those who voted for the Senate President during APC primaries, were they not aware of the "agreement"?
Talking abt Wike, were u not alive when Atiku declared long before the primaries that he would step down if the ticket was zoned to the SouthEast?
Was Ortom a member of Wike G5 group not the head of that committee?
Was the vote in that committee not unanimous?

The pattern of 1999 has shown that there is no agreement, just some mumbo jumbo they ejaculate to their advantage to confuse gullible folks like you so much so that when they are at a disadvantage you become blind and really not see what u don't want to see.

Kudos

Like i said you cant make a man see what he choses not to see, these things are public knowledge and you think election is not by zoning come 2027 produce a Northern presidency on behalf of North since everything dey your hand

franvincoop:
Paragraph1
You accept that there is no agreement on zoning anywhere.

Paragraph2
You claim Jonathan came in by chance.
Why did the Supreme law of the land, the constitution not stop Jonathan from contesting if there was an agreement?
Did Jonathan not get votes?
If Jonathan had won, is there any agreement that would have been broken?

Paragraph3
Did Northerners contest the APC primary or not?
Since you claim in paragraph 2 that the North kicked against Jonathan breaching the so called "agreement".
The North is devoted to the zoning agreement and the same North is having candidates contesting the APC and PDP primary.
In the spirit of the "agreement" why do you think Northerners in both parties did not step down for Southern candidates?

After all said and done, as the custodian of agreements that only you and the politicians signed.

Can you pls answer the following?

1. Is there any "agreement" that either the vice or the president must be Muslim and the other Christian?

2. Is there another "agreement"on microzoning or not?
I mean when will the North Central, North East and South East also produce a President as the NorthWest has been twice President and the SouthWest twice, South South once, let's not talk abt VP.

Thank you

You cant make a blind man see what does not want to see, that what terms your questions to be


Jonathan was president by uncontrollable factor, he was vice automatically he should be sworn in the event his principal is incapacitated or no more,
2011 election was based on mutual understanding that the odds are in favor of GEJ being incumbent, north can have its 8yrs later.

Bro you seriously need to understand that written agreement is not the only form of agreement, when you see a pattern over time it depict an agreement or an arrangement.

The problem wike & friends have with PdP/atiku is breached of zoning, even APC almost had n issue but they were able to retrace there step, north made Tinubu win the primary go n verify the votes
North are not happy with Tinubu, But even in there rage they know it still as to be a southerner to substitute Tinubu cos south still has 4yrs by arrangement ... it does not have to be written, follow the pattern from 1999 and please embrace common sense,

if yaradua had not disrupt the sequence it will have being so obvious, i dont have to argue these its a public knowledge

Atarakpa:
Good move. But Baba are you aware that many multinational are leaving as well. Address the cause sharp sharp. But in other hands we know simply because they (the multinationals) are no longer moving our dollars to their country in the name of repatriating funds. Those European never want Africa to develop. Something you can't do in their country, if you try such they call it money laundering and seize your company

If multi nationals are not repatriating their funds known as capital flight are your politicians/leaders not stealing our money to go stash in offshore accounts ... smh

In Nigeria just very few think, thats why our leaders count on majority

Edygrin:
WTF is wrong with most of you?
Companies leave Nigeria, you celebrate.
Companies decide to come back to invest in Nigeria, you wail.
This is a mental illness.

You are the one not thinking right, we are not kids that jump up at the sight of candy

Peugeot and dunlop left Nigeria for some reasons, have those problems being resolved or is the business environment more conducive now ... these are questions you must answer in your head

Ever since Tinubu as being running around like a headless chicken how many investor has he successfully brought in, its being 2yrs of travelling up and down to what gain

Major stakeholders in lafarge cement just pulled out to leave the country, cos of the inconducive environment and you think investors outside dont count these as red flags


You want a brand like peugeot and dunlop to come to Nigeria at a time purchasing power as completely being eroded and people can even afford tokunbo or fairly use sef

These are not charity organisation, money must be made ... how do they thrive when Nigerian car user have being demoted to naija use even from tokunbo ... just becos we have a dead brain president doling out counterproductive policies

franvincoop:
There is nothing like a zoning agreement bro.
Open your eyes, it was used to remove GEJ simple.
In which constitution or book was it written?
Who made the agreement and where?
If you believe in the zoning agreement then you should also believe in the same zoning agreement for Muslim-Christian ticket which APC threw out the window b4 ur very eyes and u didn't say shit.

1st Nigeria did not begin with jonathan and not all agreement must be written, some are in good faith, you dont have to be AI to know presidency in Nigeria is rotational and periodically 8yrs.

Obj spent 8yrs then handed over to yardua that spent 2yrs, jonathan came in by chance and he could have gotten a 2nd term if not for the Zoning arrangement, GEJ would have use 10yrs which breaches the 8yrs deal that why the north kicked and south west honored the agreement

2023, what played out at the APC convention is Zoning, and what scattered PDP is failing to honor the zoning agreement ... the North cleared way for Tinubu and chose him over Atiku cos the North are devoted to the zoning agreement

despite the disappointment from Tinubu/aPc North are shopping for a replacement within the south cos they understand south must use 8yrs b4 it's their turn ... God did not write it down for man pregnancy will last 9 month but humans manage to tell

SmartPolician:
People who are remotely encouraging Goodluck Jonathan to come back and run again need to let that man rest. He has done his bit.

Nigeria has bright minds - just that our penchant for selling our votes, tribalism, religious sentiments and party affiliations won't let us select the right people.

To defeat an heavy weight you need an heavy weight, there is no way a Peter obi or Atiku can defeat Tinubu 2027

should Atiku stupidly contest again, the 8yrs zoning agreement will handcuff North.

It is just like what the republicans did bringing back Trump, if they had tried someone new the chances they will displace the democrat is very slim.

In politics you just have to get your permutation and calculation right

GboyegaD:
I am surprised I hear them advertise some Nigerian movies on Nigeria radio stations and I can't see them on Netflix from my location. Does anyone else encounter same and how did you overcome it?

Yeah, your location determines the content you see on netflix, and its base on producer and netflix agreement, locations are preset to movies

i notice VPn alter the contents i see, you might just switch locations on vpn and see which suffice

iLoveYouToo:
The question you should be asking is are people watching Nigerian content? These streaming platforms aren’t philanthropic organizations, they won’t renew series that people don’t watch.

I’ve never watched a Nigerian flick on Netflix, I won’t lie. It’s like telling me to pay to go and watch a Nigerian league game when I have a choice of watching the premier league at home.

These is not solely about naija content, the major reason here is Nigerians are going thtough a tough time, people are cutting down on expenditure, decrease in subscription is why neflix is also cutting there support to nigeria movie contents

Regardless of storyline, as long as it meets standard netflix will buy it But not when subscribers is on the low

less Nigeria subscribers means less content for Nigerians

MadamVanessa:




It's clear that the current state of Nollywood is underwhelming. The storylines have become predictable and lack depth, making it easy to guess the ending before the movie even starts.

I want to emphasize that my criticism is not directed at any particular tribe, but rather at the industry as a whole. However, I do think that the influx of southwest influence in Nollywood lately has contributed to its decline in global reputation. The industry had gained international recognition and respect when it was all Igbos affairs, but it seems to have lost its way in recent years.

Like seriously .... do igbos even have storylines ... all that prince fall in love with the herbalist daughter or daughter of a billionaire fall in love with her driver that is the content that gained intl recognition 🤣🤣🤣

who ever added music chorography to igbo movies that person bean no go don 🤣🤣

festacman:
Tax bills will not make much change if the economy remains in shambles. Why is this difficult for Nigerians to grasp. Why are we wasting time and energy on Tax Bills while inflation is going up, businesses are closing down and people are becoming poorer.

- Fixing the economy is more urgent and critical than fixing tax regimes.
- Fixing the economy creates more business entities that will pay tax and create employment.
- Fixing the economy creates middle class once again that will pay tax and relieves the poor.
- Fixing the economic boosts local production, boost export and earning of forex.
- Fixing economy strengthens the Naira, creates alternative local goods, empowers more consumption, which increases VAT quantum.

Work with states to develop a broad Economic Development Plan will help both the FG and States have sense direction to build prosperous Nigeria.

I taya oo, the economic is in shambles, companies are folding, low business startup, high umemployment, downsized production and purchasing power eroded

Then an acclaimed 1st class holder feels the best thing to implement is tax reform, shows level of insensitivity business are struggling to survive and all Tinubu can think of his how to get more money out of Nigerians
.
The intention is not undermine tax but why not 1st creat an enabling environment and promote industrialization, when there is prosperity people will have no issue paying tax.
imagine danfo driver wey no sell and agbero is lurking around shouting owo mii da .. no be wahala be that.

If you cant see the bigger picture, then you must be blind from birth

Zulum is Prof, he should understand better after reading this

PBAT has a vision and dream bigger than Martin Luther.

Desperate times call for desperate measures and at this very time, we couldnt have had a better President than him

They have come, alway hiding under acemadics to widen there fraud net

where are all the stupid professors that were lecturing us on benefit of Nin, bvn and TSA as it stop corruption

when they came up with VAT, so many promises, it will do these it will do that ... where are the benefits today

All those that went fully academic about subsidy removal and local refinery ... today where are the sweet benefits, local refinery as even made fuel more expensive we are a conundrum to sane climes

In another country all these policies would have reflected what is in the textbook But certainly not Nigeria cos of the criminal minded leaders we have

More money means More loot, the state governors get more allocation now to what end, one idiot will just divert all these money nd court will grant him bail, pay 10% of whats stolen case close

For how long will Nigerians continue to sacrifice Money we know will be looted what, they want to bambooze us with erudite discourse. i refuse to be a literate these time

awon ole jati jati

damosky12:
You are both ignorant and foolish!

People like you are the reasons why Nigeria is backward. No greymatter, just emotive,bias gibberish.

The consequence of his action is to be abducted to another state over a civil wrong? Even a criminal libel (the worst case scenario) has procedures! Even if you must arrest, the "res" is lagos. The prosecution should be in lagos.

The man just used the police to abduct the guy to his backyard. That's sad!

Things like this only happen in Banana Republics. Anyone with some intelligence, no matter your political leanings, knows this isn't legal. Not in the slightest!

Honestly, living in these country with some people is injurious to ones mental health,

police are in habit of arresting, public humilation before investigation ... banana republic indeed

garykoeman:
He should face the consequences of his action.


How can u label someone criminal without evidence.

is it a case for arrest, why cant he sue the man for defamation and let the court,

he was arrest in lagos and taken to ekiti ...how is that constitutional

PressMyButton:
Dogara hit the nail on the head right there. A man that single handedly created a whole ministry (livestock ministry) for the north is whom some ignoramuses are calling anti-north?, Just because he wanted VAT equity for all the 36 states?. Pls, make it make sense.

After God, na Tinubu 💪 God bless Nigeria.

Can you hit nails on people head and not cause dem pain ... seems Tinubu and supporters are just pyschos that derive joy giving people.

I pray Tinubu never backs down and i pray the North continue to see Tinubu for who he is .... its so imperative to our dear lives Tinubu does not get re elected and only the North can help kick Tinubu to hell where he belongs.

Believeintruth:
but Seyi Law and the twitter user was definitely an exchange between Yoruba and Hausa, why trying to hide it?

Hide it, how you hide what everyone can check on there phones, you are very funny

incase you were born yesterday that not the 1st altercation between yorubas n hausas, infact now is beta

toneroforever:
While there are Yorubas that don't support evil like you said, the unfortunate part is that there are those of you who deliberately & blindly support the evil & wicked policies of the APC government (PMB & BAT) solely for selfish reasons.

Have we not seen Igbos and hausas deliberately and blindly support Apc govt (PMB & BAT) why making it all about yorubas

List out top names of those that as criticize Tinubu govt the most .. if yoruba no top the list make i know weytin cause am

ibechris:
Na Yoruba dey govt,na dem still dey complain pass everybody.

The economic heat has exposed their sophistication.

Naa yoruba complain pass Naa yoruba do tribalism pass ... which one ??

you guyz just speak whatever comes to una coconut head

Macphenson:
He is showing the real ronu in him. Am enjoying this drama between South West and North. What a time to be alive.

FIY, these is not the 1st time southwest and north are going loggerheads, ask your parent about june 12, jos riots before it use to be violent but we've moved pass that

beyond all these Sw & N always find a way to reconnect cos we are the only two region committed to one Nigeria.

Nahunger:
It is a highly welcome bill by all Nigerians, we all know who and who is against it, this is one fight I pray Tinubu doesn't back down from.
This is an opportunity to start a generational transformation for the future Nigerians crave for.


Meanwhile note that.....


it is only a Nigerian girl you will see preparing for marriage and she only has #5k or less in her account

With a mind blowing milage

These is how it always looks promising and they ampilify it so much like its will end Nigeria problem
From TSA to BVN to NIN to Subsidy removal to local refineries ... none has turn out to be how the stupid so called elites glamourize it to Nigerians. they just mess with our brains to favour there own pocket

You can never never tax the rich in real sense cos they always have the means to shift the tax burden on the poor through businesses and service. Tinubu Tax reform is just like a purging cake covered in icing sugar, naa icing una dey see

EmperorCaesar:


You're smarter than Zulum and others

Numbskulls just choose to take an opposing position to whatever the FG does.

They dont have a mind of their own and by default, they are perpetually deluded dumbos blinded by their hate for PBAT


God Bless PBAT
God bless Kukah

And what as FG/ Tinubu done that as not compounded the hardship and suffering of an average Nigerians.

We are also educated, all these policies are immaterial cos the interior motive is to generate more money to loot, enrichment of few, monkey dey work baboon dey chop

What did GEJ do with all the high revenue, what about Buhari, and here we have Tinubu, Money saved from subsidy to what gain, more allocations to the governors to what gain, declared high IGR to what gain. nothing that reasonate "gain" gets to Nigerians anymore, yet they use Nigerians as body shield to implement policies that will serve as divergence

More revenue to Nigeria govt means more Opulence and higher stakes on election .... why should people always sacrifice for nothing.

Stevosty:
even pension too, I hope he has the money to buy the reps off as usual otherwise it will be like film trick, he is not a military president.

Buy dem off to what end ?? if not "Evil" what does Tinubu stand to gain freezing those account

even if there is corruption in the system are there no ways to audit,filter & cleanup , must we throw away the bath water with child.
